Only-us

“I confess: I have a lover. We meet secretly whenever my work makes it possible and every encounter is full of surprises. I enjoy unique experiences that make me smile for days afterwards when I think about it. I’ve learned wonderful things, my dreams have been awakened, and I’m always left wanting more. “Yes, I have a lover and it is called Travel. I knew I was in love the day I felt the thrill of an airplane takeoff for the first time. That mix of nerves, fear, dreams and desire filling the pit in your stomach as you rise from the ground while heading for an unknown destination was the clearest sign that had I fallen prey to a love with which nobody could interfere. Since then, my whole world has been turned upside down, all my thoughts are cloudy and I am only able to think of one single thing: Travel, Travel, Travel.” Can you identify with this? Have you also felt butterflies in your stomach when thinking about your next trip? Then it’s time for you to declare your unabashed love. Taking advantage of the Valentine’s Day, here’s a special tribute to the love of travel. We’re seeking authentic lovers of travel. People who are able to drop everything or do something crazy just to explore new places. We want to hear your travel love stories or your declaration of love, and we will reward the most surprising one. Just enter the contest #OnlyBeTravelLovers with your text. Then share it to receive the most votes in order to reach the final where...

On Monday July 28th took place the event celebrating Only-apartments’ entry on the MAB. The entire team of Only-apartments, with owners, members and friends, were there to see how the stock market price began. With this, the company is heading towards internationalization and a considerable expansion of its market. With the clear objective to expand and extend our geographical presence, we are planning to open offices in Miami, Asia and London. The company is growing and positioning itself as a trusted brand, which will undoubtedly result in an increase in the number of travelers interested in renting apartments with us. Gradually, we hope to become a benchmark in the tourism sector, keeping the instant online reservations system as the main claim and advantage over the competition. This is for sure a big step in the evolution of the company that promises to multiply the business and attract new customers. These are, therefore, good news for everyone, as both owners and travelers will benefit from this new stage...

Dear apartment owners in Milan, it is a pleasure for us to introduce a new great service you can offer to hosts traveling with children: Go Kid. The business owners explain how “We are a big family, and we love travelling. Every journey has always been a big adventure and squeezing all that we need in a piece of luggage, or the car has proven to be impossible.” One day, they thus decided to rent out all the stuff they required for their little tribe. And, matter of fact, everything was easier. When they came back to their home town, Milan, they decided to start offering the same to families: a rental service to help them travel with their little ones. This is how their business started. Today, Go Kid offers high quality products in excellent conditions, sanitized and safety checked after every use. They provide everything you need when travelling with kids: strollers, cots, car seats, highchairs and also toys, bikes and merry-go-rounds. If you have just arrived in the city and need diapers, baby food, organic vegetables or formula, they buy the products you need from the best Italian brands, and you will find your order directly when you get to the apartment you rented. Go Kid also offer to deliver the baby equipment on your arrival at the airport and pick it back up when you leave. With all the caring of a mother to other mothers, to make you and your hosts stay in Milan an unforgettable...

On the 16th May, Kigo and Only-apartments held an even at the “Maxi Mozart” conference room at the Hotel Amadeus in Venice, which was a complete success. The event’s focus was on how Kigo and Only-apartments could help owners, property managers and agents in Italy grow their business and better manage their property portfolio. Kigo presented their complete platform and demonstrated how they are a key element to save time, stay organised and cost effectively manage a vacation rental business through automation. Kigo is a company offering an effective property management system that allows owners and rental companies to manage calendars, reservations and automate every aspect of their vacation rental business.

Only-apartments announced their collaboration with Kigo in order to offer a better service to our customers, which we are sure will improve our site’s usability and experience for both owners and travellers. ...
